All Of Christ And All In Christ
Everything in true Christianity is built upon and centers around Christ crucified and risen again. This is why TRUE Christians cannot and do not differ over how God saves sinners. It is by His free and sovereign grace in the glorious Person of Christ who is God the Son in sinless human flesh (John 1:14), [...]

A Short Study Of Romans 10:17
Believers sometimes ask for more faith and stronger faith. We must pray to God as faith is His gift to us through the Lord Jesus Christ. We must, however, realize that God does not give faith mystically, magically, or without means. The means of faith in its growth and continuance is the Word of God [...]

Faith Comes By Hearing The Word Of God

No Loopholes
Just before the death of actor W. C. Fields, a friend visited Fields’ hospital room and was surprised to find him thumbing through a Bible. Asked what he was doing with a Bible, Fields replied, “I’m looking for loopholes.”
Men often look for loopholes in the law to avoid paying taxes or to side-step the [...]

Venture Your Soul Upon Christ
Oh, forget every thing that seems worthy in you, or done by you; and let all your triumphing and glorying be in the free grace of God, in Christ, and look upon yourselves only in that and all things coming to you, receive as flowing from that fountain only. And if you have more ability [...]

“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Romans 6:17
“But ye have obeyed from the heart”

At War And Yet At Peace
It is true that I have sin in me, but it is pardoned. God has forgiven me all trespasses. I stand before Him in my Redeemer, Who undertook for me, and I am perfect in Him. The Father chose me in His Son: He looks upon the face of His beloved, and sees me in [...]

“Set Your Affection On Things Above”

The Believer’s Scapegoat
Christ is our spiritual scapegoat on whom all the sins of His people were laid, and He carried them into the land of forgetfulness, never more to return (Leviticus 16:21-22).
“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity [...]

The Lost Sheep Restored
Our first view of this peculiar people shall be in the place where God finds them. “My people,” He says, “have been lost sheep.” They do not become sheep by being found, nor do they cease to be sheep by being lost. They were sheep eternally in the mind of God; and their becoming lost [...]

A Short Study Of Job 23:8
Job said, “Behold, I go forward, but He is not there; I go backward, but I cannot perceive Him.” (Job 23:8)

Total Fulfillment Of The Heart
Solomon wrote God:
“hath made every thing beautiful in His time: also He hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.”

Setting “the world in their heart” means that God has implanted in the heart of [...]

No Other Saviour
There is no other SAVIOUR but CHRIST to look to, no other MEDIATOR between God and men to make use of, no other PHYSICIAN of value for diseased and sin-sick souls to apply unto, no other FOUNTAIN but His blood for polluted souls to wash in and be cleansed, no other CITY OF REFUGE or [...]

“And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.”

How Can God Justify The Ungodly?
God says it is an abomination to justify the wicked, and it is equal to declaring an innocent person guilty (Proverbs 17:15). God also says, “He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:” (Proverbs 24:24)
It is not right for us to declare wicked people [...]

Avoid The “Self” Sins
The “self” sins are self-righteousness, self-pity, self-sufficiency, self-admiration, self-love, and I’m sure there are others. They dwell too deep within us and are too much a part of our fallen sinful human natures to come to our attention till the light of God in Christ is focused upon them.
How can we avoid these sins? [...]

Rebuking In Love
Rebuke should always be administered in love. Never wash a disobedient child’s face in acid. Some people would burn down a house to get rid of a mouse. The smallest fault is treated as a great crime; and often a very fine brother is cut off from fellowship and bad feelings are continued, when a [...]

Good Tidings
The word “gospel,” literally translated means “good tidings.” As God’s ambassadors we have the privilege to tell sinners who are trying their best to gain or maintain salvation by their religious attempts that Christ did ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING NECESSARY to obtain the salvation of ALL of God’s elect.
Christ fulfilled every legal requirement of God’s law [...]

How Do We Pray?
Some people pray proudly so as to be seen and heard of men. They do this under the guise of claiming it is their witness before men.

Exposition Of Romans – Chapter 10
ROMANS 10:1-21
PAUL was fully aware that the doctrine of the sovereignty of God in the rejection of the Jews and the preaching of salvation to the Gentiles, would greatly offend his countrymen. He accordingly begins this chapter with an acknowledgment of their sincerity as actuated by a zeal of God; but before prosecuting the [...]

Exposition Of Romans – Chapter 11
ROMANS 11:1-36
IN this chapter the Apostle first denies that the whole of the nation of Israel was indiscriminately rejected, for, as he had already intimated, there was to be a remnant saved, and of that remnant he holds himself forth as a noted example. He then brings again into view the sovereignty of God, [...]

The Chequered Life Of A Christian – Preface
Having for about a week, at different times, found a desire to write upon a passage of Scripture, and seeing the leadings of providence without confusion in the attempt, I therefore proceed, begging the Lord to guide me into all truth; for He has made me know that without Him I can do nothing. May [...]

The Chequered Life Of A Christian – Chapter 1
By purpose then, according to the Scriptures, I understand God’s predestinating a certain number of the children of men (known only to Himself) to obtain eternal life, and this out of pure love in a sovereign way, according to His own will and pleasure. This is the whole and sole cause. Now Paul is plain [...]

The Chequered Life Of A Christian – Chapter 2
I come now to treat of effectual calling. There is an outward or general call, and this is very common to the children of God, as when a man is alarmed by his natural conscience, which makes dreadful work in some, or by bodily, or family afflictions, or by afflictive providences, or by hearing an [...]

The Chequered Life Of A Christian – Chapter 3
Let us now come to the next general head, and that is, our loving God; “For we know that all things work together for good to them that love God; to them who are the called according to His purpose.” We are sure of this, that when man came out of his Maker’s hands he [...]

Exposition Of Romans – Chapter 12
ROMANS 12:1-21
HERE we enter on the second division of this Epistle, where Paul, according to his accustomed method, enforces the duties of believers, by arguments dependent on his previous exhibition of the grand and influential doctrines of the Gospel. These doctrines, as well as all the commandments of God, may be summed up in one [...]

Exposition Of Romans – Chapter 13
ROMANS 13:1-14
CHRISTIANS having become the subjects of a kingdom which is not of this world, might be led to suppose that they were released from the ties of obedience to human authorities, especially such as were not Christians.
Far different is the doctrine here taught by the Apostle. He commands ‘every soul,’ both Jew and [...]

Ver. 1. — Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

Exposition Of Romans – Conclusion
WE are now arrived at the conclusion of this most instructive Epistle, in which our attention is so forcibly drawn to the consideration of ‘the deep things of God.’ On the one hand, the unbending justice of the infinitely holy God is awfully displayed, appearing like the flaming cherubim which guarded the way to the [...]

God’s Riches In Christ
“Proclaiming the Glory of God”
Have you ever really thought about God’s glory?
Based on biblical truth, could you define the glory of God?
Tragically, most people in modern religion have little concern for God’s glory, and, therefore, have absolutely no understanding of it either.
If you are ignorant of God’s glory, I can assure you, based on God’s [...]

Motive Is Everything
When it comes to the true obedience of a justified sinner, motive is everything. Think about Saul of Tarsus.
What religious activities did he perform while in a state of lostness?

“O, Wretched Man That I Am”
There is a vast difference between the view the self-righteous lost sinner has of himself and the view the saved sinner has of himself. The problem lies in natural man’s depravity which renders him totally incapable of discerning good and evil. For this reason, they judge those people who are moral, sincere, and dedicated to [...]

Salvation By Grace Alone – A Life Or Death Issue
Lost unregenerate sinners left to their own natural reasoning will always come to the wrong conclusion concerning God’s way of salvation – “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Proverbs 16:25)
What way seems right to sinful man?
The way of morality, sincerity, and religious [...]

Seeking God’s Lost Sheep

The Believer And God’s Law
When it comes to the correct understanding of a believer’s responsibility to the law of God, we must first realize that God’s Holy Law (the Ten Commandments) cannot bring ONE LEGAL CHARGE against a justified sinner – “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.” (Romans 8:33)

The Believer’s Reasonable Service
The true Gospel message is that the God of the Bible determined to save a multitude of guilty, deviled, hell-deserving sinners based solely on the blood and imputed righteousness of Christ alone, without any consideration of, or contribution from, those sinners Christ redeemed at Calvary.
When a man clearly and dogmatically proclaims this message, lost [...]

The Birth Of The Redeemer, Christ Jesus The Lord
When most religious people think about Christmas, their thoughts usually consist of those things traditionally associated with the holiday, i.e., the baby Jesus in a manger, the shepherds abiding in the field, and the wise men with their gifts for the Christ child. Now these things are historical truths and they are to be believed [...]

What exactly was the cost of REDEMPTION?
Before we can answer this question we need to understand what is meant by the term “REDEMPTION”.

The Elect, Holy And Beloved
When Paul wrote the epistle to the believers at Colosse, he made a very interesting statement which runs totally contrary to what is taught in modern day religion – “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, HOLY AND BELOVED, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering.” (Colossians 3:12)

The Elect’s Propitiation: Jesus Christ The Righteous

The Eternal Love Of God For His Own
I was raised in religion and taught by well-intentioned individuals that “we were all God’s children,” that He “loved all men and women equally,” and that He wanted to and was trying to save everybody.
